To Ana Ramirez at the Crown Paradise
It was good to see your post on the status of the Crown Paradise. Bob & I just returned from our 4th stay at your beautiful resort (9/29-10/6/02). We were very relieved to hear that you and the staff are okay and that the hotel survived with limited damage. We truly love coming there! On a personal ...

Crown Paradise Clean-Up
I received a short e-mail on Saturday from the reservation desk at the Crown Paradise & Hector said they are all well, the hotel is okay & he teasingly said "all they need are a lot of brooms". When we were there in 2002, there was a bad storm one night. It is amazing to watch how quickly the staff ...

Re:Home! Another super vacation at Crown Paradise
[Hi Max,l Yup! Met up with Danny Boy. Nice bellman. FunJet forgot to send a bus to take us to the airport for the flight home. So, between the Expo representative & Danny Boy, we were able to get a cab, no problem, at no charge to any of us staying at the Crown. There were about 14 of us (7 groups o...

Very friendly staff (many remembered us from earlier visits), well-maintained grounds, comfortable & nicely decorated room, super view, great variety of drinks, goo...

Re:JUST RETURNED FROM THE CROWN PARADISE!
Hi Max,
We just returned from the Crown, as well. What were your impressions. If you remember, we e-mailed each other prior to your departure & now we're both back.
Best,
Jean

Re:Anything we should know for our visit 9/30-10/6
WOW! Lucky you to have your own condo there! Well, it's Thursday morning and Bob & I will be flying out of O'hare in Chicago early Sunday morning. So...we'll get 7 nights of Puerto Vallarta's georgeous sunsets. That will have to do until next time & we plan on there being a next time. Great people, ...

Re:Anything we should know for our visit 9/30-10/6
No problem, Pat. Thanks for the information. We love Puerto Vallarta, but have noticed that the water in just plain not Carribean blue like...the Carribean is (how's that for a dumb statement). Anyway, there is so much to offer besides snorkeling, it has never stopped us from returning. The sunsets ...

Re:Anything we should know for our visit 9/30-10/6
Thanks for the info, BC. We are considering doing the ecological tour. It's an all day tour that goes into the hills, but am somewhat concerned about the bugs & high humidity. I love "creatures" & am curious about seeing the turtles & gators, etc. Still deciding about it. We have done the horseback ...

Anything we should know for our visit 9/30-10/6?
Hola, We are arriving this Sunday & want to know: 1) How bad are the bugs right now? Do they just appear at dusk or are they pesty all day? 2) How much rain has there been lately? Has it been pretty contained to late day & evening or has there been all day wash-outs? 3) Is the water very cloudy from...

Re:Why avoid all-inclusive packages?
[Hey Spud2, Boy, I envy you. One whole month in Puerto Vallarta. As a working person, it's hard to get more than a week at time there. One time we made it for 10 days, though. A week isn't really enough. You leave wishing you could still stay and wondering where the time went. Enjoy your AI and your...

Re:Why avoid all-inclusive packages?
We really like the Crown Paradise. Adults only, ala-carte dining (cooked to order, hot), private balconies with ocean view, friendly staff, clean & nicely decorated rooms, marble bath & tub in bathroom. Great room service...put your order on your door handle before retiring at night & the next morni...

Why avoid all-inclusive packages?
Why is it so many people downgrade the all-inclusive resorts in Puerto Vallarta? We will be staying at the Crown Paradise for the 4th time from 9/30-10/6/02. It has everything to offer (adults only) & is only a $4. cab ride to town (much less if you grab a local bus). We usually go off-season & are ...
